Some idea of the style of hair-pin Bis
marck is can be formed by the fact that he
recently, through vice-consul, informed
a young man named v. A. Bothas, now
employed by the Queen and Crescent
Route, at Cincinnati, that in the event of a
war in Germeny, he must return home for
military service. Bothas was born in
Russia, but removed with his father to
Germany when quite young, and, in 1852,
came to this country and became citizen
of the United States. 1t is said that the
fact that Bothas' father owns property in
Germany makes the young man, according
to a German law, liable to military service,
and il he fails to return when ordered that
the German government will compel his
father to pay a fine OF $1,000. Bismarck, it
is claimed has never recognized the right
of Germans to escape military duty OF to
renounce allegiance to Germany by becom-
ing citizens of the United States. 1fthis is
true he will no donbt in case of war with
France order a whole army of German
Americans in this country to return home
at once, but they will not go, and if ht
sends over to take them back we will give
his force the best we have in our shop

Minister Phelps wrote recently to gen.
tleman in Baltimore, who had made inqui-
ries about an English estate in which his
family supposed themselves to be inter-
ested. Mr.. Phelps says he has received
many similar inquiries, and that "the pre-
tended American claims to English prop
erty is carried on with such persistence and
ingenuity by the men engaged in it' that
he despairs of ''being able to make their
credulous victims understand what an ut
ter imposture and delusion the whole bus
mess is" Mr.. Phelps advises his cores
pondent to have nothing to do with such
schemes and especially to remit no money
to their agents.

FASHIONS FOR THE DEAD.
How the Customs of Dressing for the
Grave Have Been Changed.

There have been within the Inst few
years many marked changes in the
conduct and the accessories OF funerals.
These changes have been brought
about by influence not clearly defiuable.
One old lady who died not long ago
lay In her narrow casket robed IN II
pilgrim suit of brown broadcloth, the
cape covering her shoulders and
shrunken form, and girdle holding
the gathers about the waist. A small,
close, little felt bonnet was worn, and
the infusion of some chemical gave the
face a most iifelike appearance.
4 favorite funeral gown is tho mod /"
fled Greek dress, such as Mary Ander
son, Miss Eistlalse and Ellen Terry
have been seen in. These outfits are
made without trimming, possibly "a
girdie or braided cape being used as Il
finish. The fabric used is some fine
flannel or worsted cloth OF Il yelloWish
white color.
Not two years ago the wife of rich
young westsider was dressed in fac
simile costume Of that worn by Viola
Allen in "Virginius." Her sickness
had been very brief, and when "the
final summons" came the body retained
its lovely round contour. In the coffin
the arms and neck were bare, the yell
low hair was arranged in loose ringets
about the face, aud necklace of pearl
beads encircled the throat.
The winding sheet has been revived,
and II the rumors one gives ear to can
be credited some very prominent peo-
pie will "wrap the drapery OF their
couch about them" when they &C

livery designs, and these designs in-
clude the powdered wig. There Will
be no more outcry against the wig
innovation than there was against the
liveries Of ten years ago. 1t will be
what sensation was
created In New York when Wander
bilt at the opera placed u liveried foot-
man at the door of his box. Arthur
reproduced this in Washington, and
the Clevelands have adopted the Ar
thur fashion. Last night II black foot
man in a le-breasted livery frock
stood outside the box occupied by Mrs.
Cleveland and her party all during The
opera. He did not remain long in one
position, but was being continually
sent 10 and fro with messages. There
was such constant vision of this
yellowecoated colord man dcdgips in
and out of the bcN that he became
nearly as conspicuous as the party in
the box, as far as public curiosity was
concerned. The Cleveland administra-
tion has made one innovation upon
the Arthur precedent. Arthur em.
plOyed his footman to bring in the
him in tho orchestra circle near the
box, where the servant was permitted
to sit quietly during the performance.
The Cleveland footman had no seat,
but walked up and down back of the
box like a sentry on guard during the
entire four hours OF the long perfor-
nance of the "Huguenots."
President Arthur was the only Pres
ident we have ever had who insisted
upon paying for the boxes occupied by
him ut the theatre. The theatre mans
ayers always consider tho presence of
the President such an attraction in it.
self that they are always more than
willing to give him a free box. Mr..
Arthur would never accept. Mr.. Cleve-
land accepts whenever he wishes TO so
10 the theatre. He never volunteers a
request, but does not adhere to the AL
bany line of refusing small presents.
He accepts q box now as tribute-a
natural thing. All of the Adminlstra.
tion officials have drifted naturally and
easily into the comfortable and luxuri-
ous habits of their Republican prede.
cessors. Mr.. Bayard, who used to
make himself SO conspicuous in the
senate In U0uOuuCluS LsepuOilCau uSe
of public vessels, has not varied one jot
from Republican customs when he has
had occasion. He has made frequent
trips on revenue cutters, and will,
without doubt, continue to do so in the
future. The Secretary of the Navy
alone has made less use Of the advan
tages of his position than any other of
the Cabinet officials. 1t was he who
put the Dispatch, which has been
known as the Presidents yacht, into
active service. II. 9. CT awFoRD.

mystery About Dom pedro,s Health.

The daily reports of the physicians in
attendance upon his majesty the emperor
have uniformly reported satisfactory .p-o-
gress toward recovery. He goes out driv-
ing and walking every day when the
weather permits, and at times shows much
of his former capacity for long journeys.
At the same time it must lie confessed
that there is very general and decided
uneasiness in regard to the case. No one
disputes the accuracy Of the daily bull
letins, but there is very general impress
sion that they do not cover all. There has
lately been O noticeable effort to seclude
his majesty and to prevent visitors from
seeing him. This appears inconsistent
with the reported improvement in his
health. If slight restriction was put on
visitors some weeks ago when he was so
weak, why should they be enforced now
when he is SO much strongor2 There is O
very general belief that his Iaajesty's
mind has become affected, and that a
knowledge of this is to be kept from the
public for time if possible. This belief
we most sincerely trust is unfounded, but
it must be confessed that the ministers
and physicians arc not proceeding in the
right way to correct it.-Rio News.
